| + | Blink dogs are highly intelligent canines, believed to be creatures of law and order. In this game, however, they are not very smart, friendly, nor even powerful; but if you have some [[bone]]s you can easily tame them, just like [[puppy|puppies]]. |

| − | You are the player and you will guide your hero/adventurer/character through the [[dungeon]]s of IVAN. You can only have a single hero at a time , but the [[Ghost|bone files]] can provide a kind of a limited interaction with former characters.

| − | You always start the game accompained by a [[Pets|pet]] Kenny the [[Puppy]] who is intended to help you, especially in the early stages of the game.
| + | Blink dogs have a unique property of existing simultaneously in the physical world and other planes, which allows them to "blink". This manifests as an ability to [[teleport]] a short distance each time you attack them (whether you hit or not), leading to mildly annoying fights, but sometimes saving your life if the whole pack surrounds you. Also, each time they blink, they have a small chance to call another blink dog, essentially summoning more and more of their kin. |

| | + | Eating blink dog flesh grants you temporary [[Teleport#TeleControl|TeleControl]], but if you manage to eat at least three corpses in quick succession, you may gain this intrinsic permanently. |

| − | You have nine basic attributes, showing your physical or mental capabilities. All attributes can be trained and lost, as well as gained through [[:Category:Ommel fluids|other]] [[Holy banana|means]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are also two attributes unused as of the [[Version History|current version]], Willpower (Wil) and Mana. They are defined in the game files, nonetheless, and the latter one is confirmed to be prepared here for an upcoming magic system.
